HSD is having a flash point about 32 deg C and HFHSD flash point is above 66 deg C.
Ships' engines are designed with low RPM where as road running vehicles engines are designed to above 750 RPM
During compression ,fuel get heated and it can be under risk of Fire due to low flash point of HSD.
To avoid or minimize fire risk HFHSD(flash point above66) is used in ships
